Errors: 1. The Martellus Bennett section was supposed to say "Most receiving yards by a bears tight end, super bowl era," so that's an oversight. 2. Another oversight: The 2018 Bears went 12-4, not 11-5. I don’t know where I got 11-5 from considering the 18 Bears are one of my favorite teams ever. 3.

21:11 many Bears fans did not look at the John Fox tenure positively. The only things looked at positively in this era was the 2015 season where the offense did pretty well and the hiring of DC Vic Fangio Most of the bears defensive core/team was gone after 2014, Matt forte, Tim Jennings, Lance Briggs, Devin Hester and Julius peppers after 2013 Marcellus Bennett after 2015. They had a new team not aware of the previous locker room toxicity
I once saw someone refer to the Bears from 2006 to 2014 as the ultimate whack-a-mole franchise. "Oh hey, that's a great defense! Too bad your QB sucks. Oh, now you have a QB? Too bad, now your offensive line and receivers are shit. Oh, you picked up some weapons and have a decent line? Too bad, now your defense is old and your new coaches are awful."
Half the year Cutler had to face elite pass rushers in his very own division, Ndamokong Suh , Clay Matthews and Jared Allen think about the s*** luck you have to have that your own division each team you face has a pro bowl pass rusher and you have no oline to protect you ..
@hansmoleman9720 yeah remember that crazy body slam he did ? Looked like he broke ribs , Cutler took a few sec To absorb the pain and got back up .. I thought he's season was over with that body slam
His defensive scheme was just too predictable, and he refused to change. Look what good qbs like Peyton manning were able to do to the bears. Picking up trestman just shows how idiotic the bears were 🤣
Man, yes he will be. Oh man I'm laughing so hard. I just farted it was it felt so good you know that satisfaction when you just rip ass. Oh my God I love Jay color though man. I just hand me a nacho Bell grande. I blew out the toilet. Oh my God it looks so good. Oh God bless. God bless America. I hope you have a good Christmas😊
Cutler getting roasted by the media for “quitting on the team” and then on the very next season deciding not to quit on a play he should have, injuring his thumb, just shows how misunderstood he was as a player. Personally, I loved him and hated (still do) Martz and Emory. Also, thank you for not showing the Johnny Knox injury. Respect from all Bears fans for that!
Yeah in a championship game I don't anyone's giving up. You worked hard to get that far. And obviously why would you want the other team to think he was injured during the big game? Green Bay's defense would have been foaming at the mouth, so not saying why during the game is just smart.
Could not agree more…dude never got respect, to this day, I still walk my dog wearing Cutlers jersey…anyone who blames the team’s failure on him is biased. He wasn’t perfect but he tried his ass off. Nobody gonna convince me otherwise
You can thank Emory for giving Cutler that outrageous contract when it was obvious Cutler was costing the Bears wins. Why would you dislike him if you're a Cutler fan?
You’re joking right? Emory got rid of Lovie and Urlacher after a historic season by the defense. Why would I care about him paying cutler? I don’t get a cut and I’m not the one paying the contract lol. We had bigger issues than Cutler’s contract tbh
He was the funnest bears quarterback of all time to watch that’s for sure. Only one or two other bears quarterbacks were ever throwing the ball down the field regularly and cutler was the best of them
Man! Miss both of those guys! It was tough watching them get injured. I can still envision Knox's helmet touching his butt and Miller's knee going backwards! Both of them could've died.
What sucks about the Cutler era was that by time the offense got the pieces & the chemistry to make moves our defense was aging & not the same as it was in years prior. So many what ifs about this whole era
You need to add the Trestman audio where he says "I haven't heard any of that, I've heard of some of part of that, but I haven't heard everything about all of that." Brilliance
I like this deep dive format. It's nice to see content like this on players not named Brady or Manning. Liked and subscribed. If i could make any suggestion it would be to give an extra second or two to quotes shown on screen.
There is an excellent article out there by former Broncos GM Ted Sundquist titled "Why I Drafted Jay Cutler, and What Happened from There" that shines a light on how Cutler's early career went down and many interesting details.
Found and read the article. Yeah it was good, and I think sums up the Jay Cutler project well. In some ways he has reminded me of Jeff George at times.
28 games with a 100 passer rating in 97 starts, 26 with a sub 70. He was a taller and more athletic Rex with enough highs to earn a contract extension. The comparison is their up and down play. Jay and Rex are In different galaxies as far as production and talent.
@@JesseGMan7 I’m aware. I’ve watch them both the parallel is their fickle play where I showed the stat of almost 30% oh his starts ended in a 100+ passer rating and 27% sub 70. For reference look at Rex’s 2006 game logs on his PFR page. In 8 games he posted a 114 pr with a 19-2 TD:INT ratio and 2k yards, ended with a 73, 23:20 3.1k. Rex with the height athleticism and enough highs to earn a contract extension. A less amiable Eli without the rings and clutch factor, but with the body language that made Eli’s erratic play forgivable.
@@kyrithusdubz False. It’s the other way around. 2006 Rex had a phenomenal O line something Jay didn’t have. A 1200+yard rushing back, Mushin Muhammad and Desmond Clark. It also helps they had the 3rd ranked defense that season. And that’s only cuz Ravens and Pats defense were also insane in that era. They got rid of Rex cuz if he could win a ring that season he never would. Jay on the other hand may have won a ring with that team. I don’t understand people thinking Rex was any good. In a damn near perfect situation he was mediocre.
I have been a bears fan all my life but didn’t start watching every game till the 2012 season and as a 10 year old it taught me how exciting and disappointing a season can be that defense was very fun to watch
"I haven't heard any of that. I didn't hear all of it. I heard a lot about most of it, but what I did hear, I did not hear any of that." -marc trestman
He might not have been a true WR1, but very good player that had a promising career. Glad he can still walk to some degree, though I’m told there’s permanent discomfort. Hope he’s doing better these days!
Great timing! We planned to do a Jay Cutler game issued jersey review on our own channel, along with a short documentary on his career. We’ll give you a shout out once that releases 😁
I remember being at my grandpas when the Johnny Knox injury happened. He was so good him and Hester were together were electric. It really sucks his career got cut short he was incredible
15:52 I remember that game and that catch.... I was heading home on the Red Line, then transferring to the Pink Line, and it seemed like everyone was talking about that ending. People were PISSED. Such a deflating feeling.
Johnny Knox was my favorite football player and seeing the injury at a restaurant at the time I remember them playing it back again and again with his back snapping. I remember being very upset since he was not only good but a young player at the time and could play for the bears for awhile.
I'll never forget the day someone called in defending the Bears' ownership, even saying he named is daughter "Halas" -- not "Alice" but "Halas" - and Bernstein lost his shit and just kept saying like a broken record, "You named your DAUGHTER 'Halas'...?"
🧡💙As a bears fan I remember the Jay cutler Era it was terrible but we also had our fun moments as well. Sad part is that we only made the playoffs once with cutler. Cutler had a great arm but he always quit and faked his injuries in the NFC Championship back in 2010 sad part about about this is that he was very talented but like Ray Lewis once said talent can only take you so far Jay cutler was talented he just didn't care about winning.
I have much respect for Jay Cutler. And his tenure with the Chicago Bears 👍he was the only competent Quarterback. The Bears ever had in the 2000s. Given the offensive lines he had to work with.
There was something about Jay. He undeniably had the arm and talent. It almost felt like at any moment he could get serious, buckle down and tear it up but he just never did
I remember Cutler having 3 straight winning seasons then then the Bears fired Lovie and got rid off all their pro bowl defensive players , the Bears offensive was ranked 2nd in the league but the defense was terrible ! And lets not forget Cutler faced 3 pro bowl pass rusher in the division, half the year he was chased by Clay Matthews , Ndamukong Suh and Jared Allen with NO Offesenive line to protect him ! Let that sink in and some how managed to win games or keep them close and for hes entire time with the bears he lead the division in 4th qtr comebacks and QBR to the point he was being called Mr. 4th qtr comeback
I was always a Jay Cutler supporter when he was with the Bears, almost to a fault. The excitement I had when Jerry Angelo first traded for him was damn near euphoric. Obviously, it didn't turn out the way I had hoped. Cutler had his faults, but I will STILL argue the Bears organization failed him more than he failed them. Countless offensive coordinator changes, a porous offensive line, dumpster fire of a collection of WR's, horrible drafts, and a head coach who failed to recognize the forward pass as an actual weapon did Jay no favors. The lazy, bumfuck national media liked to call him a quitter and a bad teammate, but any player who was man enough to put his name on record always defended him and said fantastic things. And, if i remember correctly, they criticized Cutler for the way he yelled at JaMarcus Webb. So, which one is it?? I'll take it to my grave Bruce Arians would've turned Cutler into a top 10, possibly top 5 QB had he been hired over Dr. Death.
Grew up watching this man play and it was always a joy to see my disgruntled qb drop a 35 yard deep pass and give 0 f*cks afterwards getting sacked the next play, him and justin deserved so much better than whay was given to them
It's actually wild how we didn't even make a SB from 2010-2013 considering just how good the offense was. 2010 we got all the way to the NFCC and had Green Bay on the ropes till Cutler hurt his knee, 2011 he broke his thumb(?), 2012 we went 10-6 but the defence was beat to shit and we SOMEHOW missed the playoffs, then in 2013 Chris Conte either blew a coverage or Briggs didn't get him the audible, and that was it for the window of opportunity. Some stupid back luck prevented us from getting anywhere.
First of all, super great job on this, reminding us what the hell happen to our Bears that decade. We just sucked for a long time. Is this our year? I'm going to give it a BIG maybe.
One thing I'll add to this is that Devin Hester mentioned him as the worst leader he ever met Edit: I missed that he said it the first time I watched the documentary
My old company flew me to Chicago in 2012 and after work me and a couple coworkers went to a sports bar. Jay Cutler and the bears were playing on a Monday night. Lots of bears fan and all they did all night was boo Cutler. lol 😅
He was treated like crap for the entire time the bears had him. Not just by fans but by the team. Failed to give him any sort of receiving and oline help. And the play callers were all jokes. The fact he had people question his toughness when if you had watched him throughout the bears it was the last thing you’d question, makes me don’t blame him for being an ass the entire time
@@Elijah-NUMetal-IsMyWife-Boyd do you know what a sprain is? How should a sprain be operated on? I don’t like cutler for countless reasons, this criticism of his is genuinely the dumbest thing ever and makes us bears fans look even dumber
Same excuse could be made for Mitch Trubisky and Justin Fields but they didn’t get 8 years to prove that they wasn’t the guy. They also didn’t have receivers and o lines, they didn’t have the coaching, and they battled through injuries and came back early from injuries also. No one makes excuses for their failures so Cutler shouldn’t get excuses either. And i peeped that the only defense that was worst than the 2013 Bears defense was the 2022 Bears defense. When the bears was losing in 2013, it was the defense fault. When the bears lost in 2022, it was because JF sucked. Let’s compare time spans. From 2013-2016 when Cutler didn’t have help, and 2021-2023 when JF didn’t have help, how many times did the Bears get blown out in back to back weeks and allowed 50 points? How many Packers games was competitive? During the span of 2013-2016, Cutler was surrounded by veteran talent. They were not trying to tank. In 2021, JF inherited an old, over paid, and overhyped team. In 2022, they intentionally tanked by letting everyone go and signing and played a bunch of low tier free agents and undrafted free agents. 2023 was the first year that the bears had continuity on the coaching staff, and had a roster where a majority of the starters were players that was drafted and would be playing together for the next 3+ years. They won 7 games after a 0-4 start and was still in contention for a playoff spot in December 2023.
That 2013 week 17 game will always haunt me. 28-20 lead in the 4th. Lovie’s bears jumped on every potentially live ball, this defense left it for Green Bay to score. The interception going through Conte’s hands for a long completion, and Peppers missing the sack on 4th down with blown coverage in the most critical play of the game. The Packers have been in the Bears way since Grossman left. In 2010, the packers had to win week 17 against the bears just to make the playoffs. The bears could have finished them off but played backups and lost 10-3 because they had their spot locked in already. The packers beat them in the nfc championship game and I would had the bears against any team but them. In 2012, the bears had to rely on the packers to beat the Vikings for them to sneak into the playoffs. The packers lost by 3.
Goddamn, watching this video makes me understand myself more. People always said I was bit of a cynic about football and always told me to relax, but after truly going back with retrospect and seeing what a shit show I was dealing with watching the Bears during high school I can understand why maybe I was a little depressed 😂 it’s just a game but man it sucks to have every Sunday ruined
You know that girl who constantly complains about all her boyfriends and every bad thing in life was their fault. Yeah. That's our Chicago Bears franchise.
My favorite Jay Cutler moment will always be when he was on South Park while still with the Broncos and Stan saw him at some celebrity party and was ah "Oh wow! Look its Jay Cutler! I mean you suck but my dad says you might be good one day!" Lol and he was all "Uh gee thanks"😂
Hey, it's the Canal music from Ys Book II by Ryo Yonemitsu in the beginning of the video! Though I'm not sure which version, since the only version I'm really familiar with is from the TG-16 CD. Underrated soundtrack BTW. And yeah, the Cutler Bears were a complete and glorious (and absolutely maddening in the Trestman years) mess. Lastly, the biggest problem with Mike Martz's offense was that he didn't have Orlando Pace to take on 2 defenders at once and make those 7-step dropbacks possible.
Lifelong Bears fan and Cutler backer. You gotta have a line. That game on Monday night where the Giants sacked him at least 8 times was a taste. Did I say I'm a lifelong Bears fan? Man they can piss you off. What a stupid fucking franchise. But the McCaskey clan, the grubbing worms, dgaf because the Bears are worth beaucoup money. Fuck. Loving the Bears is a curse. Love ya Jay. "Tell 'im I said FUCK YOU" absolutely.
As a bears fan who was born in 2004, all I have ever known is sadness humiliation from the packers. I have never experienced the bears truly just being better and it’s all I want I’m sick of this purgatory
Errors:
1. The Martellus Bennett section was supposed to say "Most receiving yards by a bears tight end, super bowl era," so that's an oversight.
2. Another oversight: The 2018 Bears went 12-4, not 11-5. I don’t know where I got 11-5 from considering the 18 Bears are one of my favorite teams ever.

Something to improve on for the next video!
Matt Forte's injury in 2011 was in Chicago, not Kansas City
@@Vanhelsing8900 Of course
I guess you could say this team was a *cut below the rest!*
21:11 many Bears fans did not look at the John Fox tenure positively. The only things looked at positively in this era was the 2015 season where the offense did pretty well and the hiring of DC Vic Fangio

@@MustacheDLuffy Correct. By 2017, we hated fox so much, there was fans bringing signs to opponents home games, demanding Fox to be fired..

Too bad, now your offensive line and receivers are shit. Oh, you picked up some weapons and have a decent line? Too bad, now your defense is old and your new coaches are awful."
I wonder how it will go with letting Fields go instead of trading the pick and stocking up on talent.
@@grinningchicken Probably better than it would have if they kept Fields. Love Fields but he's just too limited as a QB
That’s perfect.
I guess $54 million guaranteed to Cutler had nothing to do with it.
@@grinningchickenit could go positively
I will always remember the south park episode when he was still a bronco. “I mean you kinda suck, but my dad says you might be good someday” 😂
And he was sitting poolside at a celebrity coke party when stan says that 😂
Just saw that and I was dying 😭😭
I saw Jay get murdered with tackles every week. He was a tough SOB.
That's the one thing you can't take away from Cutler, he wasn't no punk

Yep that's where shit really went completely downhill. Lovie should've been our Mike Tomlinson
Indeed !!
That move alone set the franchise back a decade.
His defensive scheme was just too predictable, and he refused to change. Look what good qbs like Peyton manning were able to do to the bears.
Picking up trestman just shows how idiotic the bears were 🤣

I mean that's literally not saying a lot. We've literally almost never had a QB
The Bears had the best QB of all time: Doug Flutie. But, like every other team (including the Patriots), they never gave him a fair chance.
What about Caleb Williams?
Johnny Knox and Zach Miller injuries are the worst injuries I’ve ever seen in the NFL. Such potential in both. Hope they’re well.

Great video man, as a bears fan this brings back many suppressed memories
A game was never over with Cutler on the field
There is a video showing every interception Cutler threw against the packers and it’s 9 minutes long💀

There was something about Jay. He undeniably had the arm and talent. It almost felt like at any moment he could get serious, buckle down and tear it up but he just never did
I remember Cutler having 3 straight winning seasons then then the Bears fired Lovie and got rid off all their pro bowl defensive players , the Bears offensive was ranked 2nd in the league but the defense was terrible ! And lets not forget Cutler faced 3 pro bowl pass rusher in the division, half the year he was chased by Clay Matthews , Ndamukong Suh and Jared Allen with NO Offesenive line to protect him ! Let that sink in and some how managed to win games or keep them close and for hes entire time with the bears he lead the division in 4th qtr comebacks and QBR to the point he was being called Mr. 4th qtr comeback
great music, great way of explaining situations
I was always a Jay Cutler supporter when he was with the Bears, almost to a fault. The excitement I had when Jerry Angelo first traded for him was damn near euphoric. Obviously, it didn't turn out the way I had hoped. Cutler had his faults, but I will STILL argue the Bears organization failed him more than he failed them. Countless offensive coordinator changes, a porous offensive line, dumpster fire of a collection of WR's, horrible drafts, and a head coach who failed to recognize the forward pass as an actual weapon did Jay no favors. The lazy, bumfuck national media liked to call him a quitter and a bad teammate, but any player who was man enough to put his name on record always defended him and said fantastic things. And, if i remember correctly, they criticized Cutler for the way he yelled at JaMarcus Webb. So, which one is it??
I'll take it to my grave Bruce Arians would've turned Cutler into a top 10, possibly top 5 QB had he been hired over Dr. Death.
The jay cutler hate was so unwarranted. You put ANY qb in the league in his shoes on that bears team and they would’ve struggled
This is a very well made video. I do not say that often
Babe wake up new bricked video
Worst
from a bears fan, don’t look up the knox injury
I was at the game. I just remember him laying there and dead silence from the crowd
Only the Zach Miller injury comes even close to Knox getting twisted up like a pretzel.
I remember watching that Knox hit scaryyyyy
I’m a 49ers fan, but I was always intrigued by Cutler. I thought of him as a badass and a train wreck at the same time. A badass train wreck
Grew up watching this man play and it was always a joy to see my disgruntled qb drop a 35 yard deep pass and give 0 f*cks afterwards getting sacked the next play, him and justin deserved so much better than whay was given to them
I love Jay best QB in franchise history
It's actually wild how we didn't even make a SB from 2010-2013 considering just how good the offense was. 2010 we got all the way to the NFCC and had Green Bay on the ropes till Cutler hurt his knee, 2011 he broke his thumb(?), 2012 we went 10-6 but the defence was beat to shit and we SOMEHOW missed the playoffs, then in 2013 Chris Conte either blew a coverage or Briggs didn't get him the audible, and that was it for the window of opportunity.
Some stupid back luck prevented us from getting anywhere.
you mean how good the defense was?
Still thunk ab that knox hit sometimes. It's definitely one of the worst injuries in nfl history
First of all, super great job on this, reminding us what the hell happen to our Bears that decade. We just sucked for a long time. Is this our year? I'm going to give it a BIG maybe.
One thing I'll add to this is that Devin Hester mentioned him as the worst leader he ever met
Edit: I missed that he said it the first time I watched the documentary
That Johnny Knox injury was truly gruesome. A miracle he can still walk.
it was never Cutler's fault man, he had the absolute dog in him 😢🧡💙
My old company flew me to Chicago in 2012 and after work me and a couple coworkers went to a sports bar. Jay Cutler and the bears were playing on a Monday night. Lots of bears fan and all they did all night was boo Cutler. lol 😅
I might be the only one who noticed the first song being subterranean canal from Ys 2. Very cool and good video
He was treated like crap for the entire time the bears had him. Not just by fans but by the team. Failed to give him any sort of receiving and oline help. And the play callers were all jokes. The fact he had people question his toughness when if you had watched him throughout the bears it was the last thing you’d question, makes me don’t blame him for being an ass the entire time
He deserved every single bit of criticism..
@@Elijah-NUMetal-IsMyWife-Boyd how is it fair to be criticized for not going in when you have a sprained mcl and the coaches and doctors said not too?
@@CoC_LordYet he was still on the bench, instead of being medically operated on..
@@Elijah-NUMetal-IsMyWife-Boyd do you know what a sprain is? How should a sprain be operated on? I don’t like cutler for countless reasons, this criticism of his is genuinely the dumbest thing ever and makes us bears fans look even dumber
Same excuse could be made for Mitch Trubisky and Justin Fields but they didn’t get 8 years to prove that they wasn’t the guy. They also didn’t have receivers and o lines, they didn’t have the coaching, and they battled through injuries and came back early from injuries also. No one makes excuses for their failures so Cutler shouldn’t get excuses either. And i peeped that the only defense that was worst than the 2013 Bears defense was the 2022 Bears defense. When the bears was losing in 2013, it was the defense fault. When the bears lost in 2022, it was because JF sucked. Let’s compare time spans. From 2013-2016 when Cutler didn’t have help, and 2021-2023 when JF didn’t have help, how many times did the Bears get blown out in back to back weeks and allowed 50 points? How many Packers games was competitive? During the span of 2013-2016, Cutler was surrounded by veteran talent. They were not trying to tank. In 2021, JF inherited an old, over paid, and overhyped team. In 2022, they intentionally tanked by letting everyone go and signing and played a bunch of low tier free agents and undrafted free agents. 2023 was the first year that the bears had continuity on the coaching staff, and had a roster where a majority of the starters were players that was drafted and would be playing together for the next 3+ years. They won 7 games after a 0-4 start and was still in contention for a playoff spot in December 2023.
Good god i was reminded in this video that their last playoff win was 14 years ago against a sub .500 team 😂
8:50 Tice is from New York. Cutler wasn't understanding Tice's jokes
Yeah, hilarious. To Tice, Indiana is the South. Or maybe Vanderbilt is what he meant.
Still love smokin Jay Cutler!
That 2013 week 17 game will always haunt me. 28-20 lead in the 4th. Lovie’s bears jumped on every potentially live ball, this defense left it for Green Bay to score. The interception going through Conte’s hands for a long completion, and Peppers missing the sack on 4th down with blown coverage in the most critical play of the game.
The Packers have been in the Bears way since Grossman left. In 2010, the packers had to win week 17 against the bears just to make the playoffs. The bears could have finished them off but played backups and lost 10-3 because they had their spot locked in already. The packers beat them in the nfc championship game and I would had the bears against any team but them. In 2012, the bears had to rely on the packers to beat the Vikings for them to sneak into the playoffs. The packers lost by 3.
Goddamn, watching this video makes me understand myself more. People always said I was bit of a cynic about football and always told me to relax, but after truly going back with retrospect and seeing what a shit show I was dealing with watching the Bears during high school I can understand why maybe I was a little depressed 😂 it’s just a game but man it sucks to have every Sunday ruined
If the bears stuck with Lovie and found an actual fucking OC and linemen we woulda been fine. Defense was fine no issue.
Great video he might be the bears best qb ever 🤣
You know that girl who constantly complains about all her boyfriends and every bad thing in life was their fault. Yeah. That's our Chicago Bears franchise.
What does Jay Cutler have in common with your local meteorologist? Overpaid to be inaccurate.
Cutler would be a top 5 Qb today though
Not only were the Seahawks the first sub 500 team to win a playoff game, they were the first one to ever make the playoffs.
My favorite Jay Cutler moment will always be when he was on South Park while still with the Broncos and Stan saw him at some celebrity party and was ah "Oh wow! Look its Jay Cutler! I mean you suck but my dad says you might be good one day!" Lol and he was all "Uh gee thanks"😂
I haven't watched the video and I know this is absolutely true. The team was a mess for a long time. That family is crazy.
8:35 what is the name of this song? It’s sounds amazing
Moto Racer-West Way
Hey, it's the Canal music from Ys Book II by Ryo Yonemitsu in the beginning of the video! Though I'm not sure which version, since the only version I'm really familiar with is from the TG-16 CD. Underrated soundtrack BTW. And yeah, the Cutler Bears were a complete and glorious (and absolutely maddening in the Trestman years) mess. Lastly, the biggest problem with Mike Martz's offense was that he didn't have Orlando Pace to take on 2 defenders at once and make those 7-step dropbacks possible.
John Fox thought his quarterback’s name was Jake Hutler. What a great name for a quarterback.
Lifelong Bears fan and Cutler backer. You gotta have a line. That game on Monday night where the Giants sacked him at least 8 times was a taste. Did I say I'm a lifelong Bears fan? Man they can piss you off. What a stupid fucking franchise. But the McCaskey clan, the grubbing worms, dgaf because the Bears are worth beaucoup money. Fuck. Loving the Bears is a curse. Love ya Jay. "Tell 'im I said FUCK YOU" absolutely.
Great video i just cant finish it, too painful as a bears fan 😂
@@jasonfulgencio7711 As a browns fan I feel you, too hard to watch any video on them.
As a bears fan who was born in 2004, all I have ever known is sadness humiliation from the packers. I have never experienced the bears truly just being better and it’s all I want I’m sick of this purgatory
Best bears qb and my favorite. miss u cutty
Just subbed
Same!
As a packers fan this video is beautiful
Do you think Jordan Love can dethrone Jay Cutler as the Packers' 4th greatest QB? Tall task.
@@brickwallblitz😂😂😂 Actually isn’t he the Third? No Cutler, no 4th Super Bowl. Rodgers is probably still sending him residual checks.
Schadenfreude indeed
If I could change the outcome of any game in our history, it would be that week 17 game in 2010.
I knew as soon as we lost that game, we were done.
"Forward pass is a social construct" got a sub out of me.
Cutler has this weird aura about him tho.
He will live on through memes
Chris conte had no business being on the field let alone a starter
